+1, especially since I there are still many people here mentioning
mail/SMTP and their restrictions/issues/problems quite often.

A future OpenPGP (core) standard should try to avoid solving the
issues/limitations of any other standard/protocols.


That being said, I also don't like the idea of mail header
signing/encryption.
It's simply not OpenPGP's task and one should rather create an amendment
for the mail standards or MIME which describes how an OpenPGP
signed/encrypted headers would be embedded in an mail.


Cheers,
Chris.
